The new material found for The Prize was worthy of release but obviously it was short and it needed another MGM title to accompany. This was the right opportunity. It's really great music and puts Jerry's development as a composer in perspective. Plus, if you don't own Powder you won't have any alphabetizing issues.

The sound on the Rhino disc is pretty lousy, so I'm very much looking forward to the remaster. The LP version is a very worthwhile addition, there are some different choices there.
Ordered, of course, along with A Man Called Horse and North Dallas Forty.
What is wrong with the sound on the Rhino? Have not listened in a long time, but I recall liking the sound. The FSM Release is great ,BUT , I find Nothing wrong with the Rino release. The sound quality is good,seems like there is never a problem with the sound quality until a remastered edition comes along. As far as I am concerned, the Rino edition will do just fine,thanks very much. I really do not want to buy music I already have.

Actually, there have been many complaints about the sound quality on the Rhino edition since the day it came out way back when. Don't forget, some of us owned the superior-sounding LP for many years, and so the Rhino's offering was a significant downgrade in that department, even if it did restore many important cues. If you don't have a problem with it (I'm not sure how) that's fine, but I remember receiving a copy at the Tower Records I worked at, getting excited and popping it on and being disappointed at the sonics.

Scoresalot's avatar is AWESOME! Needs a tennis ball.

Do you do those in After Effects?
As these are relatively short, 200 frames of which about 90 are animated, I do them frame by frame (yes I am old school in this regard). Each frame I manipulate in Photoshop (changing 'inner shadow', 'outer glow', transparency of each seperate layer, and adding lens flare). The tricky part for this animation was the 'other side' clouds effect, which I had to use an existing animated gif of thunderstorm clouds for and insert it frame by frame to get that cool effect. Once the frames are done, I just import the lot into Ulead Gif Animator and save as a moving gif.
It's fun to work on while listening to a good Goldsmith score (in this case Star Trek V).
On-topic, the samples for FSM's Poltergeist sound great and even the bonus material has some great appeal; I rarely get to disc 2 with all the latest releases, but I'm sure Poltergeist wont have that problem!

Interesting about "Wild Percussion", because I'd always wondered what that sound in "Twisted Abduction" was. You can clearly hear the same sound at 4:37 into the cue. It's always freaked me out because it sounded like Jerry was torturing a box full of puppies.

Exactly right. If you're not familiar with how phenomenal sounding the Poltergeist LP was, then you'd probably be ok with the Rhino release. Like Swashbuckler, I was crushed when I heard the Rhino release, all the shimmering higher end sonics were absent...it just sounded dead in comparison. When FSM announced they were working on this I was so relieved that we would finally have the entire score sounding as close to the warmth and clarity of that LP as possible. The samples sound like Bruce and Mike nailed it...and they're only mp3's!
